Neutrality Measure Is Introduced By Congress
House foreign affairs chair Sam McReynolds and Senate Foreign Relations chair Key Pittman introduced permanent neutrality bills to keep the United States out of foreign wars. The measures, drafted after talks with President Roosevelt and State Department officials, would require the president to declare war and impose arms embargoes and restrict trade with belligerents. The plan preserves freedom to issue further regulations and would bar U.S. purchases of belligerent bonds once a proclamation is made.
